Dramatic skies last night. Gorgeous colours. Tried to keep them as I saw them. Nature is amazing

On the way to the pub, in Eskdale...

You spend to much time heading for the pub! Enjoy.

It's nice when you get up and nature deliveres.

Or when you stay up/go out late!
 
Had a bash at taking some macro shots today. Not too bad for my first attempt. I'd give it a C+ (could do better).

It is Ken. Just a quick attempt.

I really really like that. Genuinely I think that it is a beautiful picture. I think the pinky red balanced nicely with the purple hints to the right, I love the beautiful soft yet sharp quality.

Now, what did you do for this one? anything in particular?

Thanks :)

Shot wise I had a strobe set up to the right, shot it at about F11. In PP I added a touch of sharpening and a vignette.
 
No tigers, countryside pubs or castles here. But we do have some interesting modern architecture.
Spent a morning visiting and shooting Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA.

Not entirely sure about the processing on this one. There's another more contrasty version on my Flickr page (for those who care to offer some feedback/critique).

Of the three, I prefer the third one with the blue hue tbh. The more contrasty one second.

Same here I am afraid. Same order, blue, contrasty, then this one. What is weird though, is if you look at this one, switch to the blue one, then switch back to this one, it looks more contrasty. Nice capture with the FD 50 though!

I like the contrast with the snowy mountains in background.

Lovely scenery. But my focus is drawn to the big branch on the right side.

With this edit this photograph looks much better. That branch really draws eyes away from landscape...

That's not an edit... that's decimation.:)

I rather like the gnarled, thirsty tree and the red earth... and how they tie the foreground and background together. I prefer the original pic...

Better without the branch IMHO but I would like to see more foreground too to enhance the depth of the picture.

Maybe if the original was taken slightly lower so some of the branch wasnt lost in the foreground detail?

True, it's not an edit. I wanted to show how distracting the right side of the original image is. (in my opinion)
